<\/p>\nNeotel on Monday (16 May 2011) announced the launch of its new cordless home phone, which the company says will ‘revolutionize the home phone user’s experience’.<\/p>\n
The ZTE-manufactured wireless CDMA device provides instant connectivity to the Neotel network, and supports both voice and SMS services.<\/p>\n
It further boasts speaker phone functionality, has a built-in alarm and calculator, features a 96×96 LCD display and has 32 personalized polyphonic ring tones.<\/p>\n
The new phone has a built-in battery with a talk time life of over 3 hours and a standby time of 120 hours.<\/p>\n
One big advantage of the new wireless phone over Neotel’s previous desktop versions is that users can carry it with them in a geographic area (such as Johannesburg-011 or Pretoria-012) and use it wherever there is coverage.<\/p>\n
“The launch of our cordless phone is a vital addition to our suite of affordable, competitive solutions for our customers,” said Mukul Sharma<\/a>, general manager of Neotel’s Consumer Devision.<\/p>\n “We are placing emphasis on delivering greater flexibility, convenience and innovation while our focus remains on delivering affordable voice solutions to all South Africans,” said Sharma.<\/p>\n The new cordless home phone is available at a once off device fee of R399 on both the NeoConnect Lite Prepaid and NeoConnect Lite R99 packages, and can also be bundled with no up-front cost on a NeoConnect Lite R199 monthly package.<\/p>\n
